Yeah, I can use it. Oh, actually, I am capable of using several different types of magic.
Well, uh. . .
This is something that would like other people not to know about, so once again, I want you to keep this information to yourself, okay?
When I forbade her from teling about this to anyone, Sherrys face looked like she was extremely disappointed, but she did not oppose that rule, probably because she knew that this was the best possible way to not get too much unwanted attention to our names.
Yes master, I understand.. s-so, it really has to be because of you being able to use multiple Jobs, right?
That is right.

The moment of awkward silence just kept going without any of us saying a word. Could it be that. . . that Sherry is waiting for me to give her an actual, logical explanation of why am I capable of using multiple Jobs?
Let just say that I am simply somehow able to do it and leave it at that, okay?
Yes, let us just say that master is simply somehow able to do it and leave it at that.
Oh, ah. . . okay?
Now that I bought Sherry, my second slave, we will finally be able to challenge the Labyrinths eighth floors. But as for if there will ever come the day where I will talk to Sherry and Roxanne about my powers and why they need to stay a secret, I guess that remains to be seen.
Ahh, that is right. Every kind of weapon has the pros and cons of using it, and in case of hammers, it is how big and slow to use they are. Roxanne is all about her godly evasive abilities, so if she were to use such a heavy weapon, then her evasion, which is one of her strongest points, would have been severely crippled. So I guess she really can perform her godly dodges only with a one-handed weapon like a short or longsword, but then again, the weapon that she is currently using, a Scimitar is not exactly a light weapon, and she can dodge with it just fine.
Can you tell me what is the difference between a hammer and a mallet? I mean, I know that hammers are big and especially heavy, but what about mallets specifically? Do you have to hold them with both hands?
You do not necessarily have to do it with both hands. Mallets are designed in such a way that you can hold them with either one or two hands and I have seen people holding it in one hand along with a shield for protection, but personally I prefer holding it with two hands since it allows for more powerful blows.
So Sherry does not need a shield because she prefers the more offensive approach, huh? Good to know and duly noted.
Unfortunately, we do not have any extra equipment to spare at the moment and your purchase took a bite out of a big portion of our funds, so you will have to content yourself with cheaper ones for he time being, before we will be able to buy you something better. Is that okay with you?
Yes, of course it is okay, master. If that is what you have decided, then I have no reasons to be questioning your decisions.
Great, thank you for trusting me with this one. By the way, do you now about Empty Skill Slots and the equipment that may or may not have it?
Empty Skill Slots. . . . . . . .? Ah, you mean Skill Slots in general? Well of course I know about them.
Really? That is so good to hear!
Could it be? Have I finally found someone who can explain to me what the deal with them is, exactly?!
Right. . . . . . . .So, you also know about them, master?
Well, yeah. The main reason why I wanted to buy myself a Dwarven slave was so that we could have our very own Master Smith, because during our last trip to the Labyrinth we managed to obtain a Skill Crystal and we were looking for someone who could imbue our equipment with it.
I see, that makes sense. If you did not know about them, then you would not have asked for a Dwarf with Master Smith Job specifically. . .
Precisely. So, how did you learn about them, if I may ask? Is it something that all Dwarves know, or is it the kind of knowledge that you had to obtain on your own?
